Freepers Have Come Up With A Plan To WIN,...

[WeDidIt]

They have decided they want to Repeal The 26th Amendment.

It's an odd twist on the old Republican electoral strategy. They want to insure fewer voters. This one is different ebcause the idiots want to increase the voting age back to 21.

[NYCGirl]

1. I think they'd have to increase the voting age to about 60. NT

[Arkana]

2. Ah yes.

If you can't win, change the rules of the game!

An old Republican standby.

[AllieB]

3. How patriotic of them.

So all those kids between 18 and 21 serving in the armed forces will be unable to vote. As it has been stated ad nauseum, the only way these fuckers can win is if they cheat or change the rules.

[walldude]

9. They have a stipulation for the military

which is hilarious, that they somehow think that soldiers are more capable of voting than anyone else. The old guard is falling aside and they are doing everything they can to remain relevant.

[anonymous171]

4. Best comment from that thread: "If the only way we can win is to deny votes, we’re toast."

Indeed you are. :rofl:

[AllieB]

6. Talk about a lack of self-reflection.

They don't even realize that they're fascists.

[Hawkeye-X]

5. Good luck with that one - many youth voters

will be hunting you down and beating you with a 2x4's.

Hawkeye-X

[MNDemNY]

7. Hell, why not the 19th as well!

[Dappleganger]

8. What?

"Until a kid is out on their own making their own money, they are just little socialists living off mom and dad."

So children are considered little socialists because they cannot support themselves?
Yeah, they really are the party of 'family values.'

/s/

[mrreowwr_kittty]

10. Some of them want to repeal the 19th amendment as well.

Damn wimmenz and their damn voting!

[WeDidIt]

13. One post that got pulled read thusly:

"We should go back to only white male property owners voting."

Sick bastards, eh?

[Berry Cool]

46. I can see the signs at the polling places now:

"You must be male or you cannot participate in this erection election."

[Island Blue]

11. Freeper quote:

"Why should some child, who has never worked a day in their life, cancel out my vote?" Hmmm, I began working and paying taxes the day I turned 16 (I worked babysitting before that, but wasn't paying taxes). Many kids where I now live, start working (and paying taxes) at age 14 with a work permit. Why do Freepers just assume that 18 year olds have never worked a day in their life? They really need to get out of mom's basement more often. Morans.

[unpossibles]

17. Yeah, I was out of the house and mostly taking care of myself before I was 18

Sure, my dad would help me out now and then, and my brother and I helped each other out more than once, but... fuck those assholes.

[nxylas]

20. Well then you must be a Republican

In Freeperworld, America is divided into hardworking people, who are all Republicans, and workshy layabouts, who vote for the "Democrat Party". And who are black, though they usually don't come right out and say that part.

[nyhuskyfan]

36. Why should same racist drunkard cancel out mine?

If you are still living in the Dark Ages, you shouldn't get to participate.

[political_Dem]

12. They're in the habit of changing everyone's constitutions these days, aren't they?

Campaigning to change a state constitution just isn't enough. These nutballs have higher aspirations in mind. :sarcasm:

All I can say is that this proves that the Republicans are in it only for themselves. Furthermore, they won't be happy until they disenfranchise everyone so that they can get back in power.

Too bad people are wise to their BS and will fight back. This isn't Bush's World anymore. :grr:

[Hugabear]

14. Why not just take it back to only wealthy land-owning men?

Maybe they should only let CEOs vote. :sarcasm:

[WeDidIt]

15. Some in the thread are suggesting that!

Seriously!

One even went to the "white men" argument!

[pipi_k]

35. Hah!!! idiots!!!

Especially the ones advocating for only white men being able to vote...

uh...hello? Earth to stupidass Freeper...

did you not see the numbers of white people...men and women, young and old, who cheered for Obama?


Honestly, there are times when I almost feel sorry for their desperation-soaked peanut brains...

[RichGirl]

16. Once we start repealing amendments...

...we might go after that second amendment.

[political_Dem]

19. God forbid that happens. After all, that's one of their biggest fears.

:sarcasm:

That's why their suggestion to repeal the 19th Amendment is quite ironic.

They think that they can tinker with the rights of everyone else as much as they please.

They're hypocrites, in a way.

[political_Dem]

41. Correction: The 26th Amendment. Sorry.

[JuniperLea]

18. They can't win on policy

So they resort to stupid tactics like this. Morans.

[TheKentuckian]

21. Morans...they can't even get a bill to the floor

much less pass an amendment.

What stupid, soulless, wastes of skin these Freepers be.

[BumRushDaShow]

22. I suppose the 15th Amendment will be next

Yeah, let's keep them (code-word) "fake American" (code-word) "Muslims" from the (code-word) "inner city" out of (code-word) "our" (sic) poles. :sarcasm:

Or in Palinese:

"And the people not from real America there, and also those not here in real America, and the healthcare, who don't believe in true Christianity, well and also God will show us the way and they will also not be allowed to vote, and he will make a way for us also, here in the real America, there."

:rofl:

[cags]

23. I like the "only tax paying citizens can vote" Would that mean preachers couldn't vote? LOL

[cags]

24. or Stay at Home moms...LOL

[LittleApple81]

29. NO WOMEN ALLOWED TO VOTE! From the same thread:

"franchise should be granted only to male citizens 35 and above, property owners and
tax-payers and NO females, period."

[Engineer4Obama]

39. Contrary to popular Opinion

Pastors do in fact pay taxes. Churches don't.

[LittleApple81]

25. And "franchise should be granted only to male citizens 35 and above, property owners and

tax-payers and NO females, period."

Taken from the same thread.

O.M.G.

[Berry Cool]

44. So they want to restrict voting to people with penises, eh?

Guess they figure they won't be able to elect Palin in '12 any other way. :shrug:

[Left Is Write]

45. How do the female freepers feel about that?

[abumbyanyothername]

26. Funny

I am for lowering the voting age to 16.

[XanaDUer]

27. ROTFLMAO!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: barbarianbabs
I don’t want illiterates, convicted felons, or people with mental retardation cancelling out my vote, but it happens.

Let's put a new amendment on the books- the keep-freepers-from-voting act!

:rofl:

[pipi_k]

37. omg that is funny!!!!

accidental irony...

the illiterates don't want illiterates to be able to vote....


:rofl:

[Clintonista2]

28. Here's what the freepers fail to understand

All those 18, 19, 20 year old voters who voted for Obama, will be older than 21 in 2012 :rofl::rofl::rofl:

[XanaDUer]

30. BWHA HA HA HAHA!

You're right!

[Kingofalldems]

31. The new freeper Amendment to the Constitution:

All voters must live in mother's basement to be deemed qualified.

[insanity]

32. Wow!

These are some damn good ideas! Women can be told by men what's best for them. Blacks shouldn't vote. Hell, future generations of America's leadership should be cut-off from having a say. The only way these assholes can win is change the rules.



If they take my right to vote, then they better take my right to a gun, because that's the first thing I'm going for.

[DU GrovelBot]

33. ## PLEASE DONATE TO DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND! ##

==================
GROVELBOT.EXE v4.1
==================



This week is our fourth quarter 2008 fund drive. Democratic Underground is
a completely independent website. We depend on donations from our members
to cover our costs. Please take a moment to donate! Thank you!

[sellitman]

34. That page was really from the Onion right?

I love the Onion!

[ladywnch]

38. well, keep in mind that any consititutional change requires 2/3 of the states to ratify

and I can't see the youth of 2/3 of the states (or women for that matter) allowing this to pass. If this is the level of their desperation, then unless Barack completely screws the pooch it will be quite some time till rethugs regain power.

[TygrBright]

40. Yah. That's gonna work. n/t

[johnnyrocket]

42. They'd have to AMEND it to say only whites, over 60, living in Oklahoma can vote...

...then they'd have a slight edge.

[Zombie2]

43. MORANS!!

:rofl:

[Left Is Write]

47. I suppose they don't see the irony in advocating stripping people's rights

on a board called FREE Republic.

[tanyev]

48. Alrighty then, nobody should be allowed to join the military until they're 21.

And have completed at least two years of college.
